"Wings Of Glass"

I am a full time artist living in Orlando Fl, with my husband and our family of 2 Shih Tzus.
Nature Scapes in acrylic are among my favorite things to paint and this blog will show the progress of my works in their different stages. Many of my paintings are created using multiple canvases to create a sculptural affect. If you have any questions you would like me to answer about my work or techniques, please let me know and I will be happy to blog about it.
I am also a busy jewelry artist and will be posting photos of finished pieces of interest.
I'll also be including lots of garden photos and other inspirational pictures along the way.

Retirement Day Ceremony

After 26 years of service in the US Army Chris had his official retirement ceremony this past Thursday morning. While we are not leaving until the second week of June, we scheduled the ceremony this past week to allow plenty of time for family to fly in to join us . Thanks to the band's publicity section for the wonderful photo of us at the ceremony. After 26 years in the US Military Academy Band at West Point, of which I've been along for the whole ride, the good and bad along the way, Chris will leave in June and we'll start a whole new chapter of our lives.

This is a photo of the band during the 2007 outdoor summer concert series at Trophy Point. There is a beautiful view from this location out to the Hudson River, it is a very pretty place to have concerts each summer.

When we head out in June we have lots of great memories and photos to take with us.

Hi Ruth,Congrats to Chris for his 26 years of service and dedication. What a wonderful accomplishment and with you by his side. The pics are wonderful. I know you are both looking forward to the new chapter in your life and many new memories to be made in your new home.Wishing you the very best always.Congrats again.Hugs, Celestina Marie
